What's better than spending a beautiful summer day at the park? It's one of our favorite things to do, and was the inspiration for our August Kit that we have named "A Day at the Park". This kit is filled with beautiful colors and designs from nature, featuring paper from the "Vintage Garden" collection by Pion Designs.

We increased the number of kits this month and still have a few available in our Store.

Hello everyone! Erin here with you today to show you a sample from me using the beautiful August Kit, which will be revealed in full in just a couple more days. So far, you've seen so many amazing examples from the design team- I'm sure you're just anxious to start working with this kit as well!

Here's a layout that I created using the more feminine side of this kit:

"Happy Girl"

My niece Lilah is just BURSTING with sweetness- and I wanted my flower cluster to really reflect that. I took advantage of all of the colors in this kit and they really come together quite nicely!

One of the Pion Design papers has several of these beautiful border strips- perfect for creating a simple linear design to your project.

Prima and Petaloo flowers join together to create and offer different textures and sizes to your cluster work. If you're like me and you love your flowers, it's a necessity to have the variety of sizes included in this month's kit and flower add-on!

Thank-you for coming by the C'est Magnifique blog today! On July 30th, we will be revealing the main kit- so make sure to come back then :)!

Hi all. It's Valerie, and today it is my turn to share a layout with you using the August Kit. The full kit reveal will be a week from today, but we always let you see the paper line that we're going to use in the middle of the month, as well as the add-ons (which have already sold out for August).

I love the softness of the colors and backgrounds of the Pion Design's paper. The blue paper in the collection made me think of babies (aren't those little birds adorable?), so I couldn't resist pulling out a photo that I took shortly after my nephew was born. There isn't much sweeter than a sleeping baby.

Here are a few close-ups:

Thanks for stopping by today. Maja will be here tomorrow to give you a look at how she has used the upcoming August Kit. Have a wonderful day!

Wow, summer seems to be flying by. It's difficult to believe we are previewing our August Kit today. We can't show you the entire August Kit, but we can let you see the paper line we will be using and a photo of both add-ons.

August will bring you the beautiful Pion Design's "Vintage Garden", all the way from Sweden. It's an awesome collection of rose, pink, blue, green, and brown. The August Kit paper is available in our store HERE. The entire kit will be available at the end of July.

Each month we also offer two add-ons. Unfortunately the add-ons have already sold out, but some of the items are available individually in our store. If you'd like to purchase them or add individual items to your kit, follow the links below.

If you want to be sure we have an Embellishment and/or Flower Add-on available for you each month, please e-mail Leslie{at}c'estmagnifiquekits.com and she will make sure you are automatically sent what you want each month. It's the only way to make sure you get the add-ons.

Our Design Team has been busy working with this kit and you are sure to love the variety of styles! Between now and the end of the month, each designer will share a sneak peek with you. You won't want to miss it!

Hi, it's Valerie Serfozo today. I'm here to share a couple of layouts that I created using the July Kit. For these two layouts, I used the paper from UHK. I really like the combination of black and cream.

"Homecoming"

For this first layout I chose to use a black and white photo with this striking

damask patterned paper from UHK. The photo is of my granddaughter

and her boyfriend prior to the Homecoming Dance last fall.

I tried to stick with primarily black and cream, with a little bit of color from the peach tones.

For this layout, I have used paper and embellishments from the July kit, as well as items from the Embellishment and Flower Add-ons.

"Wonderful and Amazing"

The background musical paper I used for this layout is from the KaiserCraft portion of the July Kit paper, but I stayed with the neutral tones of the UHK paper. This photo of my nephew is one of my favorites and it was spontaneous,
which makes it even better! He was sitting on the floor,

I had the
camera in my hand and said, "Hey Trevor". He looked up and I snapped.

He really is wonderful and amazing.

I have used items from the July Kit and both the Embellishment and Flower Add-ons.

Hi everyone! Erin Blegen back again with you today with a last look from me at the July Kit, "Vintage Curiosities". I hope you've enjoyed the loads of inspiration from our design team over the last couple of weeks- and that you were able to snag one of these kits for yourself! Last I checked, there were still a couple left in the store. But they never last long, so get one while you can!

"Last Day Pre-K"

These papers were perfect for creating a masculine layout for my oldest son Wyatt on his last day of Preschool. He looks so grown up- and I wanted my layout to be elegant and mature; much like the little guy he is becoming :).

From my stash: stamps, mask, modeling paste

"Always Sweet"

Taking the opposite stand- here, I wanted to create a very feminine layout for my little girl :). The romantic KaiserCraft papers included in the kit are perfect for accomplishing that! I used just a hint of scraps from the UHK Gallery papers to accent with just a touch of black and white.

From my stash: stamps, masks, modeling paste

Thanks for coming over to the C'est Magnifique blog today! Be sure to check back in tomorrow- Valerie has some inspiration to share :).

The title of this layout is in Russian and it translates as "Daughters-Mothers". It is actually the name of children's game all the Russian girls play. Kaisercraft papers in this kit were perfect for creating the retro look I wanted to achieve to complement the photo. The cut out elements from UHK Gallery papers made this project complete.

I couldn't resist an opportunity to get really messy and create a proper masculine layout with these papers from UHK Gallery. The papers are very thick so one can really apply a lot of mediums over it.

July is also month when my husband has his birthday so I thought I will use this opportunity to create something for him and about him.

On This Day collection from Kaisercraft was designed to help us scrap all those beautiful wedding photos so for this layout I decided to go with the theme. I still don't have a wedding album though I made a few attempts. I finished it a couple of time but every time I was not happy with the end result so I would tear it all off and start over. So far I have just a few layouts that I am satisfied with. That was a good opportunity to make one or two more.

Hi, Maja here. Today it´s my turn to show you some layouts made with the July kit " Vintage Curiosities". I have two to show you. Two totally different layouts and that's what so cool with this kit, it´s so versatile.

This first one is made with the UHK papers in black and white and a piece of Kaiser Craft paper in pink. I have added embellisment in pinks and red. I wanted to create a cool layout to match the photo of my son fooling around in front of the camera.
